Answer 1

Because you have done excellent work on various projects here at Emerald, the vice president and I have selected you to work on a special project conducting research for year’s annual report. Besides collecting information from various company personnel item 4, you will be interviewing a number of department heads.

The Corporate Communication Division, which oversees the production of the annual report, believes that you should spend some time gathering information about the following items:

· Specific company accomplishments, not just activities

· Each department’s goals for the coming year

· Achievements of employees who have contributed to their departments or to the community

We expect this annual report to be quite different than those published in previous years. The annual reports of many companies are now paperless. From website reports to PDF-only reports, fewer companies are printing hard copies. Infographics are also replacing some of the former text-only reports. We expect that some of your information can be obtained from Jacob Andrews, our quantitative analyst.

Because this is the type of assignment that may require company-wide research, we have assigned Rhonda Suffield to assist you. We decided that it was better to assign an assistant rather than overwhelm you with this task. Just between you and me, I thought you could handle this task yourself, but Vice President Johnson thought it was too much to ask.

Although we probably should have started earlier, we hope your schedule will enable you to accept this important assignment. The annual report will be published sometime early next year. To avoid a last-minute rush, please complete your research by August 1 plan Item 23 to turn your material into me by August 10.
